Furnace and Boiler Thermocouples are installed in challenging environments.
Therefore, special care must be taken in defining the right product and
choice of materials for the process involved. In order to maximize and maintain
safety of operations, tube skin temperatures need to be precisely monitored.
That is why Rodax Furnace and Boiler Thermocouples have been designed to meet
strict objectives:
– Long life
The selected head type and sheath material are very critical to process conditions.
Companies aim to increase time between stops, nowadays typically between 4 and
6 years versus a tube life design of 10 years. Tubes can indeed exceed the design
life time when run at a lower than intended temperature. Our expert engineers will
assist you in the choice of materials so you can save considerably on downtime and
maintenance.
– Economy on fuel
Measuring the exact temperature is very critical to firing the furnace or boiler
at an economic rate.
– Increased tube life and tube reliability
Tube failures are most commonly due to overheating. Economic firing of
furnaces or boilers reduces material wear. Therefore particular attention
must be paid to on-stream tube temperature monitoring. Coke detection
requires a very accurate measurement method as well.
– criteria for correct measurement:
» Choosing the best mounting method and sensor form.
» Defining the materials needed in dialogue with the customer.
» Identifying the best way to conducting your measurement outside the furnace.
